Rahul Verma: My Petty Bits

Good evening, people! Ever notice how some people treat morality like it’s a competitive sport? Yeah, I call it the ‘Holier Than Thou Olympics.’ The only game where no one really knows the rules, but everyone thinks they’re winning!

Ever heard of the environmentalist who prints 500-page reports on saving trees? I’m like, ‘You know trees were harmed in the making of your manifesto, right?’ They use more paper than a lawyer at a lawsuit convention, but hey, all that paper is recycled from the flyers they didn’t manage to hand out last Earth Day!

And let’s not forget The Social Media Saints, bless their hearts. They’ll post a quote by Gandhi on Monday and then troll people online on Tuesday. ‘Be the change you wish to see in the world… but also, Dave, you’re an idiot.’ Their keyboard is mightier than their conscience!

In the end, we all know someone who’s a little too good at pointing out the speck in your eye while ignoring the plank in their own.

But tonight, we’re not about that life. We’re here to laugh at ourselves, because if you can’t laugh at yourself, don’t worry—those ‘holier than thou’ folks will do it for you!
